Hutch Boy (S03E10)

Louis finds himself under threat from Lloyd, the school bully. Despite Tom encouraging him to confront Lloyd, Louis brushes off his friend's advice, thinking Tom is just a coward. However, things escalate when Lloyd humiliates Louis in shop class by stuffing him into a cabinet he's building. At that point, Tom can no longer stand by and calmly approaches Lloyd, demanding he stop. To everyone’s astonishment, he showcases impressive karate skills, breaking boards effortlessly, which forces Lloyd to back down. In that moment, Louis sees Tom as a hero rather than a wimp. Eager to learn, Louis asks Tom to teach him. Yet, before their first lesson, Louis impulsively challenges Lloyd to a fight in an alley. Tom warns him it might take nine years to master his techniques! Nevertheless, Louis absorbs as much as he can in a single day before heading out.
